Change Log for PCRE2
--------------------
Version 10.36-RC1 04-December-2020
----------------------------------
1. Add CET_CFLAGS so that when Intel CET is enabled, pass -mshstk to
compiler. This fixes https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2578. Patch for
Makefile.am and configure.ac by H.J. Lu. Equivalent patch for CMakeLists.txt
invented by PH.
2. Fix inifinite loop when a single byte newline is searched in JIT when
invalid utf8 mode is enabled.
3. Updated CMakeLists.txt with patch from Wolfgang Stöggl (Bugzilla #2584):
- Include GNUInstallDirs and use ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR} instead of hardcoded
lib. This allows differentiation between lib and lib64.
CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR is used for installation of libraries and also for
pkgconfig file generation.
- Add the version of PCRE2 to the configuration summary like ./configure
does.
- Fix typo: MACTHED_STRING->MATCHED_STRING
4. Updated CMakeLists.txt with another patch from Wolfgang Stöggl (Bugzilla
#2588):
- Add escaped double quotes around include directory in CMakeLists.txt to
allow spaces in directory names.
- This fixes a cmake error, if the path of the pcre2 source contains a space.
5. Updated CMakeLists.txt with a patch from B. Scott Michel: CMake's
documentation suggests using CHECK_SYMBOL_EXISTS over CHECK_FUNCTION_EXIST.
Moreover, these functions come from specific header files, which need to be
specified (and, thankfully, are the same on both the Linux and WinXX
platforms.)
6. Added a (uint32_t) cast to prevent a compiler warning in pcre2_compile.c.
7. Applied a patch from Wolfgang Stöggl (Bugzilla #2600) to fix postfix for
debug Windows builds using CMake. This also updated configure so that it
generates *.pc files and pcre2-config with the same content, as in the past.
8. If a pattern ended with (?(VERSION=n.d where n is any number but d is just a
single digit, the code unit beyond d was being read (i.e. there was a read
buffer overflow). Fixes ClusterFuzz 23779.
9. After the rework in r1235, certain character ranges were incorrectly
handled by an optimization in JIT. Furthermore a wrong offset was used to
read a value from a buffer which could lead to memory overread.
10. Unnoticed for many years was the fact that delimiters other than / in the
testinput1 and testinput4 files could cause incorrect behaviour when these
files were processed by perltest.sh. There were several tests that used quotes
as delimiters, and it was just luck that they didn't go wrong with perltest.sh.
All the patterns in testinput1 and testinput4 now use / as their delimiter.
This fixes Bugzilla #2641.
11. Perl has started to give an error for \K within lookarounds (though there
are cases where it doesn't). PCRE2 still allows this, so the tests that include
this case have been moved from test 1 to test 2.
12. Further to 10 above, pcre2test has been updated to detect and grumble if a
delimiter other than / is used after #perltest.
13. Fixed a bug with PCRE2_MATCH_INVALID_UTF in 8-bit mode when PCRE2_CASELESS
was set and PCRE2_NO_START_OPTIMIZE was not set. The optimization for finding
the start of a match was not resetting correctly after a failed match on the
first valid fragment of the subject, possibly causing incorrect "no match"
returns on subsequent fragments. For example, the pattern /A/ failed to match
the subject \xe5A. Fixes Bugzilla #2642.
14. Fixed a bug in character set matching when JIT is enabled and both unicode
scripts and unicode classes are present at the same time.
15. Added GNU grep's -m (aka --max-count) option to pcre2grep.
16. Refactored substitution processing in pcre2grep strings, both for the -O
option and when dealing with callouts. There is now a single function that
handles $ expansion in all cases (instead of multiple copies of almost
identical code). This means that the same escape sequences are available
everywhere, which was not previously the case. At the same time, the escape
sequences $x{...} and $o{...} have been introduced, to allow for characters
whose code points are greater than 255 in Unicode mode.
17. Applied the patch from Bugzilla #2628 to RunGrepTest. This does an explicit
test for a version of sed that can handle binary zero, instead of assuming that
any Linux version will work. Later: replaced $(...) by `...` because not all
shells recognize the former.
18. Fixed a word boundary check bug in JIT when partial matching is enabled.
19. Fix ARM64 compilation warning in JIT. Patch by Carlo.
20. A bug in the RunTest script meant that if the first part of test 2 failed,
the failure was not reported.
21. Test 2 was failing when run from a directory other than the source
directory. This failure was previously missed in RunTest because of 20 above.
Fixes added to both RunTest and RunTest.bat.
22. Patch to CMakeLists.txt from Daniel to fix problem with testing under
Windows.
Version 10.35 09-May-2020
---------------------------
1. Use PCRE2_MATCH_EMPTY flag to detect empty matches in JIT.
2. Fix ARMv5 JIT improper handling of labels right after a constant pool.
3. A JIT bug is fixed which allowed to read the fields of the compiled
pattern before its existence is checked.
4. Back in the PCRE1 day, capturing groups that contained recursive back
references to themselves were made atomic (version 8.01, change 18) because
after the end a repeated group, the captured substrings had their values from
the final repetition, not from an earlier repetition that might be the
destination of a backtrack. This feature was documented, and was carried over
into PCRE2. However, it has now been realized that the major refactoring that
was done for 10.30 has made this atomicizing unnecessary, and it is confusing
when users are unaware of it, making some patterns appear not to be working as
expected. Capture values of recursive back references in repeated groups are
now correctly backtracked, so this unnecessary restriction has been removed.
5. Added PCRE2_SUBSTITUTE_LITERAL.
6. Avoid some VS compiler warnings.
7. Added PCRE2_SUBSTITUTE_MATCHED.
8. Added (?* and (?<* as synonms for (*napla: and (*naplb: to match another
regex engine. The Perl regex folks are aware of this usage and have made a note
about it.
9. When an assertion is repeated, PCRE2 used to limit the maximum repetition to
1, believing that repeating an assertion is pointless. However, if a positive
assertion contains capturing groups, repetition can be useful. In any case, an
assertion could always be wrapped in a repeated group. The only restriction
that is now imposed is that an unlimited maximum is changed to one more than
the minimum.
10. Fix *THEN verbs in lookahead assertions in JIT.
11. Added PCRE2_SUBSTITUTE_REPLACEMENT_ONLY.
12. The JIT stack should be freed when the low-level stack allocation fails.
13. In pcre2grep, if the final line in a scanned file is output but does not
end with a newline sequence, add a newline according to the --newline setting.
14. (?(DEFINE)...) groups were not being handled correctly when checking for
the fixed length of a lookbehind assertion. Such a group within a lookbehind
should be skipped, as it does not contribute to the length of the group.
Instead, the (DEFINE) group was being processed, and if at the end of the
lookbehind, that end was not correctly recognized. Errors such as "lookbehind
assertion is not fixed length" and also "internal error: bad code value in
parsed_skip()" could result.
15. Put a limit of 1000 on recursive calls in pcre2_study() when searching
nested groups for starting code units, in order to avoid stack overflow issues.
If the limit is reached, it just gives up trying for this optimization.
16. The control verb chain list must always be restored when exiting from a
recurse function in JIT.
17. Fix a crash which occurs when the character type of an invalid UTF
character is decoded in JIT.
18. Changes in many areas of the code so that when Unicode is supported and
PCRE2_UCP is set without PCRE2_UTF, Unicode character properties are used for
upper/lower case computations on characters whose code points are greater than
127.
19. The function for checking UTF-16 validity was returning an incorrect offset
for the start of the error when a high surrogate was not followed by a valid
low surrogate. This caused incorrect behaviour, for example when
PCRE2_MATCH_INVALID_UTF was set and a match started immediately following the
invalid high surrogate, such as /aa/ matching "\x{d800}aa".
20. If a DEFINE group immediately preceded a lookbehind assertion, the pattern
could be mis-compiled and therefore not match correctly. This is the example
that found this: /(?(DEFINE)(?<foo>bar))(?<![-a-z0-9])word/ which failed to
match "word" because the "move back" value was set to zero.
21. Following a request from a user, some extensions and tidies to the
character tables handling have been done:
(a) The dftables auxiliary program is renamed pcre2_dftables, but it is still
not installed for public use.
(b) There is now a -b option for pcre2_dftables, which causes the tables to
be written in binary. There is also a -help option.
(c) PCRE2_CONFIG_TABLES_LENGTH is added to pcre2_config() so that an
application that wants to save tables in binary knows how long they are.
22. Changed setting of CMAKE_MODULE_PATH in CMakeLists.txt from SET to
LIST(APPEND...) to allow a setting from the command line to be included.
23. Updated to Unicode 13.0.0.
24. CMake build now checks for secure_getenv() and strerror(). Patch by Carlo.
25. Avoid using [-1] as a suffix in pcre2test because it can provoke a compiler
warning.
26. Added tests for __attribute__((uninitialized)) to both the configure and
CMake build files, and then applied this attribute to the variable called
stack_frames_vector[] in pcre2_match(). When implemented, this disables
automatic initialization (a facility in clang), which can take time on big
variables.
27. Updated CMakeLists.txt (patches by Uwe Korn) to add support for
pcre2-config, the libpcre*.pc files, SOVERSION, VERSION and the
MACHO_*_VERSIONS settings for CMake builds.
28. Another patch to CMakeLists.txt to check for mkostemp (configure already
does). Patch by Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belon.
29. Check for the existence of memfd_create in both CMake and configure
configurations. Patch by Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belon.
30. Restrict the configuration setting for the SELinux compatible execmem
allocator (change 10.30/44) to Linux and NetBSD.
Version 10.34 21-November-2019
------------------------------
1. The maximum number of capturing subpatterns is 65535 (documented), but no
check on this was ever implemented. This omission has been rectified; it fixes
ClusterFuzz 14376.
2. Improved the invalid utf32 support of the JIT compiler. Now it correctly
detects invalid characters in the 0xd800-0xdfff range.
3. Fix minor typo bug in JIT compile when \X is used in a non-UTF string.
4. Add support for matching in invalid UTF strings to the pcre2_match()
interpreter, and integrate with the existing JIT support via the new
PCRE2_MATCH_INVALID_UTF compile-time option.
5. Give more error detail for invalid UTF-8 when detected in pcre2grep.
6. Add support for invalid UTF-8 to pcre2grep.
7. Adjust the limit for "must have" code unit searching, in particular,
increase it substantially for non-anchored patterns.
8. Allow (*ACCEPT) to be quantified, because an ungreedy quantifier with a zero
minimum is potentially useful.
9. Some changes to the way the minimum subject length is handled:
* When PCRE2_NO_START_OPTIMIZE is set, no minimum length is computed;
pcre2test now omits this item instead of showing a value of zero.
* An incorrect minimum length could be calculated for a pattern that
contained (*ACCEPT) inside a qualified group whose minimum repetition was
zero, for example /A(?:(*ACCEPT))?B/, which incorrectly computed a minimum
of 2. The minimum length scan no longer happens for a pattern that
contains (*ACCEPT).
* When no minimum length is set by the normal scan, but a first and/or last
code unit is recorded, set the minimum to 1 or 2 as appropriate.
* When a pattern contains multiple groups with the same number, a back
reference cannot know which one to scan for a minimum length. This used to
cause the minimum length finder to give up with no result. Now it treats
such references as not adding to the minimum length (which it should have
done all along).
* Furthermore, the above action now happens only if the back reference is to
a group that exists more than once in a pattern instead of any back
reference in a pattern with duplicate numbers.
10. A (*MARK) value inside a successful condition was not being returned by the
interpretive matcher (it was returned by JIT). This bug has been mended.
11. A bug in pcre2grep meant that -o without an argument (or -o0) didn't work
if the pattern had more than 32 capturing parentheses. This is fixed. In
addition (a) the default limit for groups requested by -o<n> has been raised to
50, (b) the new --om-capture option changes the limit, (c) an error is raised
if -o asks for a group that is above the limit.
12. The quantifier {1} was always being ignored, but this is incorrect when it
is made possessive and applied to an item in parentheses, because a
parenthesized item may contain multiple branches or other backtracking points,
for example /(a|ab){1}+c/ or /(a+){1}+a/.
13. For partial matches, pcre2test was always showing the maximum lookbehind
characters, flagged with "<", which is misleading when the lookbehind didn't
actually look behind the start (because it was later in the pattern). Showing
all consulted preceding characters for partial matches is now controlled by the
existing "allusedtext" modifier and, as for complete matches, this facility is
available only for non-JIT matching, because JIT does not maintain the first
and last consulted characters.
14. DFA matching (using pcre2_dfa_match()) was not recognising a partial match
if the end of the subject was encountered in a lookahead (conditional or
otherwise), an atomic group, or a recursion.
15. Give error if pcre2test -t, -T, -tm or -TM is given an argument of zero.
16. Check for integer overflow when computing lookbehind lengths. Fixes
Clusterfuzz issue 15636.
17. Implemented non-atomic positive lookaround assertions.
18. If a lookbehind contained a lookahead that contained another lookbehind
within it, the nested lookbehind was not correctly processed. For example, if
/(?<=(?=(?<=a)))b/ was matched to "ab" it gave no match instead of matching
"b".
19. Implemented pcre2_get_match_data_size().
20. Two alterations to partial matching:
(a) The definition of a partial match is slightly changed: if a pattern
contains any lookbehinds, an empty partial match may be given, because this
is another situation where adding characters to the current subject can
lead to a full match. Example: /c*+(?<=[bc])/ with subject "ab".
(b) Similarly, if a pattern could match an empty string, an empty partial
match may be given. Example: /(?![ab]).*/ with subject "ab". This case
applies only to PCRE2_PARTIAL_HARD.
(c) An empty string partial hard match can be returned for \z and \Z as it
is documented that they shouldn't match.
21. A branch that started with (*ACCEPT) was not being recognized as one that
could match an empty string.
22. Corrected pcre2_set_character_tables() tables data type: was const unsigned
char * instead of const uint8_t *, as generated by pcre2_maketables().
23. Upgraded to Unicode 12.1.0.
24. Add -jitfast command line option to pcre2test (to make all the jit options
available directly).
25. Make pcre2test -C show if libreadline or libedit is supported.
26. If the length of one branch of a group exceeded 65535 (the maximum value
that is remembered as a minimum length), the whole group's length was
incorrectly recorded as 65535, leading to incorrect "no match" when start-up
optimizations were in force.
27. The "rightmost consulted character" value was not always correct; in
particular, if a pattern ended with a negative lookahead, characters that were
inspected in that lookahead were not included.
28. Add the pcre2_maketables_free() function.
29. The start-up optimization that looks for a unique initial matching
code unit in the interpretive engines uses memchr() in 8-bit mode. When the
search is caseless, it was doing so inefficiently, which ended up slowing down
the match drastically when the subject was very long. The revised code (a)
remembers if one case is not found, so it never repeats the search for that
case after a bumpalong and (b) when one case has been found, it searches only
up to that position for an earlier occurrence of the other case. This fix
applies to both interpretive pcre2_match() and to pcre2_dfa_match().
30. While scanning to find the minimum length of a group, if any branch has
minimum length zero, there is no need to scan any subsequent branches (a small
compile-time performance improvement).
31. Installed a .gitignore file on a user's suggestion. When using the svn
repository with git (through git svn) this helps keep it tidy.
32. Add underflow check in JIT which may occur when the value of subject
string pointer is close to 0.
33. Arrange for classes such as [Aa] which contain just the two cases of the
same character, to be treated as a single caseless character. This causes the
first and required code unit optimizations to kick in where relevant.
34. Improve the bitmap of starting bytes for positive classes that include wide
characters, but no property types, in UTF-8 mode. Previously, on encountering
such a class, the bits for all bytes greater than \xc4 were set, thus
specifying any character with codepoint >= 0x100. Now the only bits that are
set are for the relevant bytes that start the wide characters. This can give a
noticeable performance improvement.
35. If the bitmap of starting code units contains only 1 or 2 bits, replace it
with a single starting code unit (1 bit) or a caseless single starting code
unit if the two relevant characters are case-partners. This is particularly
relevant to the 8-bit library, though it applies to all. It can give a
performance boost for patterns such as [Ww]ord and (word|WORD). However, this
optimization doesn't happen if there is a "required" code unit of the same
value (because the search for a "required" code unit starts at the match start
for non-unique first code unit patterns, but after a unique first code unit,
and patterns such as a*a need the former action).
36. Small patch to pcre2posix.c to set the erroroffset field to -1 immediately
after a successful compile, instead of at the start of matching to avoid a
sanitizer complaint (regexec is supposed to be thread safe).
37. Add NEON vectorization to JIT to speed up matching of first character and
pairs of characters on ARM64 CPUs.
38. If a non-ASCII character was the first in a starting assertion in a
caseless match, the "first code unit" optimization did not get the casing
right, and the assertion failed to match a character in the other case if it
did not start with the same code unit.
39. Fixed the incorrect computation of jump sizes on x86 CPUs in JIT. A masking
operation was incorrectly removed in r1136. Reported by Ralf Junker.
Version 10.33 16-April-2019
---------------------------
1. Added "allvector" to pcre2test to make it easy to check the part of the
ovector that shouldn't be changed, in particular after substitute and failed or
partial matches.
2. Fix subject buffer overread in JIT when UTF is disabled and \X or \R has
a greater than 1 fixed quantifier. This issue was found by Yunho Kim.
3. Added support for callouts from pcre2_substitute(). After 10.33-RC1, but
prior to release, fixed a bug that caused a crash if pcre2_substitute() was
called with a NULL match context.
4. The POSIX functions are now all called pcre2_regcomp() etc., with wrapper
functions that use the standard POSIX names. However, in pcre2posix.h the POSIX
names are defined as macros. This should help avoid linking with the wrong
library in some environments while still exporting the POSIX names for
pre-existing programs that use them. (The Debian alternative names are also
defined as macros, but not documented.)
5. Fix an xclass matching issue in JIT.
6. Implement PCRE2_EXTRA_ESCAPED_CR_IS_LF (see Bugzilla 2315).
7. Implement the Perl 5.28 experimental alphabetic names for atomic groups and
lookaround assertions, for example, (*pla:...) and (*atomic:...). These are
characterized by a lower case letter following (* and to simplify coding for
this, the character tables created by pcre2_maketables() were updated to add a
new "is lower case letter" bit. At the same time, the now unused "is
hexadecimal digit" bit was removed. The default tables in
src/pcre2_chartables.c.dist are updated.
8. Implement the new Perl "script run" features (*script_run:...) and
(*atomic_script_run:...) aka (*sr:...) and (*asr:...).
9. Fixed two typos in change 22 for 10.21, which added special handling for
ranges such as a-z in EBCDIC environments. The original code probably never
worked, though there were no bug reports.
10. Implement PCRE2_COPY_MATCHED_SUBJECT for pcre2_match() (including JIT via
pcre2_match()) and pcre2_dfa_match(), but *not* the pcre2_jit_match() fast
path. Also, when a match fails, set the subject field in the match data to NULL
for tidiness - none of the substring extractors should reference this after
match failure.
11. If a pattern started with a subroutine call that had a quantifier with a
minimum of zero, an incorrect "match must start with this character" could be
recorded. Example: /(?&xxx)*ABC(?<xxx>XYZ)/ would (incorrectly) expect 'A' to
be the first character of a match.
12. The heap limit checking code in pcre2_dfa_match() could suffer from
overflow if the heap limit was set very large. This could cause incorrect "heap
limit exceeded" errors.
13. Add "kibibytes" to the heap limit output from pcre2test -C to make the
units clear.
14. Add a call to pcre2_jit_free_unused_memory() in pcre2grep, for tidiness.
15. Updated the VMS-specific code in pcre2test on the advice of a VMS user.
16. Removed the unnecessary inclusion of stdint.h (or inttypes.h) from
pcre2_internal.h as it is now included by pcre2.h. Also, change 17 for 10.32
below was unnecessarily complicated, as inttypes.h is a Standard C header,
which is defined to be a superset of stdint.h. Instead of conditionally
including stdint.h or inttypes.h, pcre2.h now unconditionally includes
inttypes.h. This supports environments that do not have stdint.h but do have
inttypes.h, which are known to exist. A note in the autotools documentation
says (November 2018) that there are none known that are the other way round.
17. Added --disable-percent-zt to "configure" (and equivalent to CMake) to
forcibly disable the use of %zu and %td in formatting strings because there is
at least one version of VMS that claims to be C99 but does not support these
modifiers.
18. Added --disable-pcre2grep-callout-fork, which restricts the callout support
in pcre2grep to the inbuilt echo facility. This may be useful in environments
that do not support fork().
19. Fix two instances of <= 0 being applied to unsigned integers (the VMS
compiler complains).
20. Added "fork" support for VMS to pcre2grep, for running an external program
via a string callout.
21. Improve MAP_JIT flag usage on MacOS. Patch by Rich Siegel.
22. If a pattern started with (*MARK), (*COMMIT), (*PRUNE), (*SKIP), or (*THEN)
followed by ^ it was not recognized as anchored.
23. The RunGrepTest script used to cut out the test of NUL characters for
Solaris and MacOS as printf and sed can't handle them. It seems that the *BSD
systems can't either. I've inverted the test so that only those OS that are
known to work (currently only Linux) try to run this test.
24. Some tests in RunGrepTest appended to testtrygrep from two different file
descriptors instead of redirecting stderr to stdout. This worked on Linux, but
it was reported not to on other systems, causing the tests to fail.
25. In the RunTest script, make the test for stack setting use the same value
for the stack as it needs for -bigstack.
26. Insert a cast in pcre2_dfa_match.c to suppress a compiler warning.
26. With PCRE2_EXTRA_BAD_ESCAPE_IS_LITERAL set, escape sequences such as \s
which are valid in character classes, but not as the end of ranges, were being
treated as literals. An example is [_-\s] (but not [\s-_] because that gave an
error at the *start* of a range). Now an "invalid range" error is given
independently of PCRE2_EXTRA_BAD_ESCAPE_IS_LITERAL.
27. Related to 26 above, PCRE2_BAD_ESCAPE_IS_LITERAL was affecting known escape
sequences such as \eX when they appeared invalidly in a character class. Now
the option applies only to unrecognized or malformed escape sequences.
28. Fix word boundary in JIT compiler. Patch by Mike Munday.
29. The pcre2_dfa_match() function was incorrectly handling conditional version
tests such as (?(VERSION>=0)...) when the version test was true. Incorrect
processing or a crash could result.
30. When PCRE2_UTF is set, allow non-ASCII letters and decimal digits in group
names, as Perl does. There was a small bug in this new code, found by
ClusterFuzz 12950, fixed before release.
31. Implemented PCRE2_EXTRA_ALT_BSUX to support ECMAScript 6's \u{hhh}
construct.
32. Compile \p{Any} to be the same as . in DOTALL mode, so that it benefits
from auto-anchoring if \p{Any}* starts a pattern.
33. Compile invalid UTF check in JIT test when only pcre32 is enabled.
34. For some time now, CMake has been warning about the setting of policy
CMP0026 to "OLD" in CmakeLists.txt, and hinting that the feature might be
removed in a future version. A request for CMake expertise on the list produced
no result, so I have now hacked CMakeLists.txt along the lines of some changes
I found on the Internet. The new code no longer needs the policy setting, and
it appears to work fine on Linux.
35. Setting --enable-jit=auto for an out-of-tree build failed because the
source directory wasn't in the search path for AC_TRY_COMPILE always. Patch
from Ross Burton.
36. Disable SSE2 JIT optimizations in x86 CPUs when SSE2 is not available.
Patch by Guillem Jover.
37. Changed expressions such as 1<<10 to 1u<<10 in many places because compiler
warnings were reported.
38. Using the clang compiler with sanitizing options causes runtime complaints
about truncation for statments such as x = ~x when x is an 8-bit value; it
seems to compute ~x as a 32-bit value. Changing such statements to x = 255 ^ x
gets rid of the warnings. There were also two missing casts in pcre2test.
Version 10.32 10-September-2018
-------------------------------
1. When matching using the the REG_STARTEND feature of the POSIX API with a
non-zero starting offset, unset capturing groups with lower numbers than a
group that did capture something were not being correctly returned as "unset"
(that is, with offset values of -1).
2. When matching using the POSIX API, pcre2test used to omit listing unset
groups altogether. Now it shows those that come before any actual captures as
"<unset>", as happens for non-POSIX matching.
3. Running "pcre2test -C" always stated "\R matches CR, LF, or CRLF only",
whatever the build configuration was. It now correctly says "\R matches all
Unicode newlines" in the default case when --enable-bsr-anycrlf has not been
specified. Similarly, running "pcre2test -C bsr" never produced the result
ANY.
4. Matching the pattern /(*UTF)\C[^\v]+\x80/ against an 8-bit string containing
multi-code-unit characters caused bad behaviour and possibly a crash. This
issue was fixed for other kinds of repeat in release 10.20 by change 19, but
repeating character classes were overlooked.
5. pcre2grep now supports the inclusion of binary zeros in patterns that are
read from files via the -f option.
6. A small fix to pcre2grep to avoid compiler warnings for -Wformat-overflow=2.
7. Added --enable-jit=auto support to configure.ac.
8. Added some dummy variables to the heapframe structure in 16-bit and 32-bit
modes for the benefit of m68k, where pointers can be 16-bit aligned. The
dummies force 32-bit alignment and this ensures that the structure is a
multiple of PCRE2_SIZE, a requirement that is tested at compile time. In other
architectures, alignment requirements take care of this automatically.
9. When returning an error from pcre2_pattern_convert(), ensure the error
offset is set zero for early errors.
10. A number of patches for Windows support from Daniel Richard G:
(a) List of error numbers in Runtest.bat corrected (it was not the same as in
Runtest).
(b) pcre2grep snprintf() workaround as used elsewhere in the tree.
(c) Support for non-C99 snprintf() that returns -1 in the overflow case.
11. Minor tidy of pcre2_dfa_match() code.
12. Refactored pcre2_dfa_match() so that the internal recursive calls no longer
use the stack for local workspace and local ovectors. Instead, an initial block
of stack is reserved, but if this is insufficient, heap memory is used. The
heap limit parameter now applies to pcre2_dfa_match().
13. If a "find limits" test of DFA matching in pcre2test resulted in too many
matches for the ovector, no matches were displayed.
14. Removed an occurrence of ctrl/Z from test 6 because Windows treats it as
EOF. The test looks to have come from a fuzzer.
15. If PCRE2 was built with a default match limit a lot greater than the
default default of 10 000 000, some JIT tests of the match limit no longer
failed. All such tests now set 10 000 000 as the upper limit.
16. Another Windows related patch for pcregrep to ensure that WIN32 is
undefined under Cygwin.
17. Test for the presence of stdint.h and inttypes.h in configure and CMake and
include whichever exists (stdint preferred) instead of unconditionally
including stdint. This makes life easier for old and non-standard systems.
18. Further changes to improve portability, especially to old and or non-
standard systems:
(a) Put all printf arguments in RunGrepTest into single, not double, quotes,
and use \0 not \x00 for binary zero.
(b) Avoid the use of C++ (i.e. BCPL) // comments.
(c) Parameterize the use of %zu in pcre2test to make it like %td. For both of
these now, if using MSVC or a standard C before C99, %lu is used with a
cast if necessary.
19. Applied a contributed patch to CMakeLists.txt to increase the stack size
when linking pcre2test with MSVC. This gets rid of a stack overflow error in
the standard set of tests.
20. Output a warning in pcre2test when ignoring the "altglobal" modifier when
it is given with the "replace" modifier.
21. In both pcre2test and pcre2_substitute(), with global matching, a pattern
that matched an empty string, but never at the starting match offset, was not
handled in a Perl-compatible way. The pattern /(<?=\G.)/ is an example of such
a pattern. Because \G is in a lookbehind assertion, there has to be a
"bumpalong" before there can be a match. The automatic "advance by one
character after an empty string match" rule is therefore inappropriate. A more
complicated algorithm has now been implemented.
22. When checking to see if a lookbehind is of fixed length, lookaheads were
correctly ignored, but qualifiers on lookaheads were not being ignored, leading
to an incorrect "lookbehind assertion is not fixed length" error.
23. The VERSION condition test was reading fractional PCRE2 version numbers
such as the 04 in 10.04 incorrectly and hence giving wrong results.
24. Updated to Unicode version 11.0.0. As well as the usual addition of new
scripts and characters, this involved re-jigging the grapheme break property
algorithm because Unicode has changed the way emojis are handled.
25. Fixed an obscure bug that struck when there were two atomic groups not
separated by something with a backtracking point. There could be an incorrect
backtrack into the first of the atomic groups. A complicated example is
/(?>a(*:1))(?>b)(*SKIP:1)x|.*/ matched against "abc", where the *SKIP
shouldn't find a MARK (because is in an atomic group), but it did.
26. Upgraded the perltest.sh script: (1) #pattern lines can now be used to set
a list of modifiers for all subsequent patterns - only those that the script
recognizes are meaningful; (2) #subject lines can be used to set or unset a
default "mark" modifier; (3) Unsupported #command lines give a warning when
they are ignored; (4) Mark data is output only if the "mark" modifier is
present.
27. (*ACCEPT:ARG), (*FAIL:ARG), and (*COMMIT:ARG) are now supported.
28. A (*MARK) name was not being passed back for positive assertions that were
terminated by (*ACCEPT).
29. Add support for \N{U+dddd}, but only in Unicode mode.
30. Add support for (?^) for unsetting all imnsx options.
31. The PCRE2_EXTENDED (/x) option only ever discarded space characters whose
code point was less than 256 and that were recognized by the lookup table
generated by pcre2_maketables(), which uses isspace() to identify white space.
Now, when Unicode support is compiled, PCRE2_EXTENDED also discards U+0085,
U+200E, U+200F, U+2028, and U+2029, which are additional characters defined by
Unicode as "Pattern White Space". This makes PCRE2 compatible with Perl.
32. In certain circumstances, option settings within patterns were not being
correctly processed. For example, the pattern /((?i)A)(?m)B/ incorrectly
matched "ab". (The (?m) setting lost the fact that (?i) should be reset at the
end of its group during the parse process, but without another setting such as
(?m) the compile phase got it right.) This bug was introduced by the
refactoring in release 10.23.
33. PCRE2 uses bcopy() if available when memmove() is not, and it used just to
define memmove() as function call to bcopy(). This hasn't been tested for a
long time because in pcre2test the result of memmove() was being used, whereas
bcopy() doesn't return a result. This feature is now refactored always to call
an emulation function when there is no memmove(). The emulation makes use of
bcopy() when available.
34. When serializing a pattern, set the memctl, executable_jit, and tables
fields (that is, all the fields that contain pointers) to zeros so that the
result of serializing is always the same. These fields are re-set when the
pattern is deserialized.
35. In a pattern such as /[^\x{100}-\x{ffff}]*[\x80-\xff]/ which has a repeated
negative class with no characters less than 0x100 followed by a positive class
with only characters less than 0x100, the first class was incorrectly being
auto-possessified, causing incorrect match failures.
36. Removed the character type bit ctype_meta, which dates from PCRE1 and is
not used in PCRE2.
37. Tidied up unnecessarily complicated macros used in the escapes table.
38. Since 10.21, the new testoutput8-16-4 file has accidentally been omitted
from distribution tarballs, owing to a typo in Makefile.am which had
testoutput8-16-3 twice. Now fixed.
39. If the only branch in a conditional subpattern was anchored, the whole
subpattern was treated as anchored, when it should not have been, since the
assumed empty second branch cannot be anchored. Demonstrated by test patterns
such as /(?(1)^())b/ or /(?(?=^))b/.
40. A repeated conditional subpattern that could match an empty string was
always assumed to be unanchored. Now it it checked just like any other
repeated conditional subpattern, and can be found to be anchored if the minimum
quantifier is one or more. I can't see much use for a repeated anchored
pattern, but the behaviour is now consistent.
41. Minor addition to pcre2_jit_compile.c to avoid static analyzer complaint
(for an event that could never occur but you had to have external information
to know that).
42. If before the first match in a file that was being searched by pcre2grep
there was a line that was sufficiently long to cause the input buffer to be
expanded, the variable holding the location of the end of the previous match
was being adjusted incorrectly, and could cause an overflow warning from a code
sanitizer. However, as the value is used only to print pending "after" lines
when the next match is reached (and there are no such lines in this case) this
bug could do no damage.
Version 10.31 12-February-2018
------------------------------
1. Fix typo (missing ]) in VMS code in pcre2test.c.
2. Replace the replicated code for matching extended Unicode grapheme sequences
(which got a lot more complicated by change 10.30/49) by a single subroutine
that is called by both pcre2_match() and pcre2_dfa_match().
3. Add idempotent guard to pcre2_internal.h.
4. Add new pcre2_config() options: PCRE2_CONFIG_NEVER_BACKSLASH_C and
PCRE2_CONFIG_COMPILED_WIDTHS.
5. Cut out \C tests in the JIT regression tests when NEVER_BACKSLASH_C is
defined (e.g. by --enable-never-backslash-C).
6. Defined public names for all the pcre2_compile() error numbers, and used
the public names in pcre2_convert.c.
7. Fixed a small memory leak in pcre2test (convert contexts).
8. Added two casts to compile.c and one to match.c to avoid compiler warnings.
9. Added code to pcre2grep when compiled under VMS to set the symbol
PCRE2GREP_RC to the exit status, because VMS does not distinguish between
exit(0) and exit(1).
10. Added the -LM (list modifiers) option to pcre2test. Also made -C complain
about a bad option only if the following argument item does not start with a
hyphen.
11. pcre2grep was truncating components of file names to 128 characters when
processing files with the -r option, and also (some very odd code) truncating
path names to 512 characters. There is now a check on the absolute length of
full path file names, which may be up to 2047 characters long.
12. When an assertion contained (*ACCEPT) it caused all open capturing groups
to be closed (as for a non-assertion ACCEPT), which was wrong and could lead to
misbehaviour for subsequent references to groups that started outside the
assertion. ACCEPT in an assertion now closes only those groups that were
started within that assertion. Fixes oss-fuzz issues 3852 and 3891.
13. Multiline matching in pcre2grep was misbehaving if the pattern matched
within a line, and then matched again at the end of the line and over into
subsequent lines. Behaviour was different with and without colouring, and
sometimes context lines were incorrectly printed and/or line endings were lost.
All these issues should now be fixed.
14. If --line-buffered was specified for pcre2grep when input was from a
compressed file (.gz or .bz2) a segfault occurred. (Line buffering should be
ignored for compressed files.)
15. Although pcre2_jit_match checks whether the pattern is compiled
in a given mode, it was also expected that at least one mode is available.
This is fixed and pcre2_jit_match returns with PCRE2_ERROR_JIT_BADOPTION
when the pattern is not optimized by JIT at all.
16. The line number and related variables such as match counts in pcre2grep
were all int variables, causing overflow when files with more than 2147483647
lines were processed (assuming 32-bit ints). They have all been changed to
unsigned long ints.
17. If a backreference with a minimum repeat count of zero was first in a
pattern, apart from assertions, an incorrect first matching character could be
recorded. For example, for the pattern /(?=(a))\1?b/, "b" was incorrectly set
as the first character of a match.
18. Characters in a leading positive assertion are considered for recording a
first character of a match when the rest of the pattern does not provide one.
However, a character in a non-assertive group within a leading assertion such
as in the pattern /(?=(a))\1?b/ caused this process to fail. This was an
infelicity rather than an outright bug, because it did not affect the result of
a match, just its speed. (In fact, in this case, the starting 'a' was
subsequently picked up in the study.)
19. A minor tidy in pcre2_match(): making all PCRE2_ERROR_ returns use "return"
instead of "RRETURN" saves unwinding the backtracks in these cases (only one
didn't).
20. Allocate a single callout block on the stack at the start of pcre2_match()
and set its never-changing fields once only. Do the same for pcre2_dfa_match().
21. Save the extra compile options (set in the compile context) with the
compiled pattern (they were not previously saved), add PCRE2_INFO_EXTRAOPTIONS
to retrieve them, and update pcre2test to show them.
22. Added PCRE2_CALLOUT_STARTMATCH and PCRE2_CALLOUT_BACKTRACK bits to a new
field callout_flags in callout blocks. The bits are set by pcre2_match(), but
not by JIT or pcre2_dfa_match(). Their settings are shown in pcre2test callouts
if the callout_extra subject modifier is set. These bits are provided to help
with tracking how a backtracking match is proceeding.
23. Updated the pcre2demo.c demonstration program, which was missing the extra
code for -g that handles the case when \K in an assertion causes the match to
end at the original start point. Also arranged for it to detect when \K causes
the end of a match to be before its start.
24. Similar to 23 above, strange things (including loops) could happen in
pcre2grep when \K was used in an assertion when --colour was used or in
multiline mode. The "end at original start point" bug is fixed, and if the end
point is found to be before the start point, they are swapped.
25. When PCRE2_FIRSTLINE without PCRE2_NO_START_OPTIMIZE was used in non-JIT
matching (both pcre2_match() and pcre2_dfa_match()) and the matched string
started with the first code unit of a newline sequence, matching failed because
it was not tried at the newline.
26. Code for giving up a non-partial match after failing to find a starting
code unit anywhere in the subject was missing when searching for one of a
number of code units (the bitmap case) in both pcre2_match() and
pcre2_dfa_match(). This was a missing optimization rather than a bug.
27. Tidied up the ACROSSCHAR macro to be like FORWARDCHAR and BACKCHAR, using a
pointer argument rather than a code unit value. This should not have affected
the generated code.
28. The JIT compiler has been updated.
29. Avoid pointer overflow for unset captures in pcre2_substring_list_get().
This could not actually cause a crash because it was always used in a memcpy()
call with zero length.
30. Some internal structures have a variable-length ovector[] as their last
element. Their actual memory is obtained dynamically, giving an ovector of
appropriate length. However, they are defined in the structure as
ovector[NUMBER], where NUMBER is large so that array bound checkers don't
grumble. The value of NUMBER was 10000, but a fuzzer exceeded 5000 capturing
groups, making the ovector larger than this. The number has been increased to
131072, which allows for the maximum number of captures (65535) plus the
overall match. This fixes oss-fuzz issue 5415.
31. Auto-possessification at the end of a capturing group was dependent on what
follows the group (e.g. /(a+)b/ would auto-possessify the a+) but this caused
incorrect behaviour when the group was called recursively from elsewhere in the
pattern where something different might follow. This bug is an unforseen
consequence of change #1 for 10.30 - the implementation of backtracking into
recursions. Iterators at the ends of capturing groups are no longer considered
for auto-possessification if the pattern contains any recursions. Fixes
Bugzilla #2232.
Version 10.30 14-August-2017
----------------------------
1. The main interpreter, pcre2_match(), has been refactored into a new version
that does not use recursive function calls (and therefore the stack) for
remembering backtracking positions. This makes --disable-stack-for-recursion a
NOOP. The new implementation allows backtracking into recursive group calls in
patterns, making it more compatible with Perl, and also fixes some other
hard-to-do issues such as #1887 in Bugzilla. The code is also cleaner because
the old code had a number of fudges to try to reduce stack usage. It seems to
run no slower than the old code.
A number of bugs in the refactored code were subsequently fixed during testing
before release, but after the code was made available in the repository. These
bugs were never in fully released code, but are noted here for the record.
(a) If a pattern had fewer capturing parentheses than the ovector supplied in
the match data block, a memory error (detectable by ASAN) occurred after
a match, because the external block was being set from non-existent
internal ovector fields. Fixes oss-fuzz issue 781.
(b) A pattern with very many capturing parentheses (when the internal frame
size was greater than the initial frame vector on the stack) caused a
crash. A vector on the heap is now set up at the start of matching if the
vector on the stack is not big enough to handle at least 10 frames.
Fixes oss-fuzz issue 783.
(c) Handling of (*VERB)s in recursions was wrong in some cases.
(d) Captures in negative assertions that were used as conditions were not
happening if the assertion matched via (*ACCEPT).
(e) Mark values were not being passed out of recursions.
(f) Refactor some code in do_callout() to avoid picky compiler warnings about
negative indices. Fixes oss-fuzz issue 1454.
(g) Similarly refactor the way the variable length ovector is addressed for
similar reasons. Fixes oss-fuzz issue 1465.
2. Now that pcre2_match() no longer uses recursive function calls (see above),
the "match limit recursion" value seems misnamed. It still exists, and limits
the depth of tree that is searched. To avoid future confusion, it has been
renamed as "depth limit" in all relevant places (--with-depth-limit,
(*LIMIT_DEPTH), pcre2_set_depth_limit(), etc) but the old names are still
available for backwards compatibility.
3. Hardened pcre2test so as to reduce the number of bugs reported by fuzzers:
(a) Check for malloc failures when getting memory for the ovector (POSIX) or
the match data block (non-POSIX).
4. In the 32-bit library in non-UTF mode, an attempt to find a Unicode property
for a character with a code point greater than 0x10ffff (the Unicode maximum)
caused a crash.
5. If a lookbehind assertion that contained a back reference to a group
appearing later in the pattern was compiled with the PCRE2_ANCHORED option,
undefined actions (often a segmentation fault) could occur, depending on what
other options were set. An example assertion is (?<!\1(abc)) where the
reference \1 precedes the group (abc). This fixes oss-fuzz issue 865.
6. Added the PCRE2_INFO_FRAMESIZE item to pcre2_pattern_info() and arranged for
pcre2test to use it to output the frame size when the "framesize" modifier is
given.
7. Reworked the recursive pattern matching in the JIT compiler to follow the
interpreter changes.
8. When the zero_terminate modifier was specified on a pcre2test subject line
for global matching, unpredictable things could happen. For example, in UTF-8
mode, the pattern //g,zero_terminate read random memory when matched against an
empty string with zero_terminate. This was a bug in pcre2test, not the library.
9. Moved some Windows-specific code in pcre2grep (introduced in 10.23/13) out
of the section that is compiled when Unix-style directory scanning is
available, and into a new section that is always compiled for Windows.
10. In pcre2test, explicitly close the file after an error during serialization
or deserialization (the "load" or "save" commands).
11. Fix memory leak in pcre2_serialize_decode() when the input is invalid.
12. Fix potential NULL dereference in pcre2_callout_enumerate() if called with
a NULL pattern pointer when Unicode support is available.
13. When the 32-bit library was being tested by pcre2test, error messages that
were longer than 64 code units could cause a buffer overflow. This was a bug in
pcre2test.
14. The alternative matching function, pcre2_dfa_match() misbehaved if it
